The cleaning portion includes a cleaning portion body and a brush portion. The brush portion includes a first brush group and a second brush group. Bristles of the first brush group and the second brush group each have a shape whose a protruding length from the cleaning portion body gradually increases from a top end side to a base end side of the shaft portion. A protruding length from the cleaning portion body of a predetermined numbered one of the second brush group from the top end side to the base end side of the shaft portion is larger than a protruding length from the cleaning portion body of the predetermined numbered one of the bristles of the first brush group from the top end side to the base end side of the shaft portion.

An oral-care implement comprises a carrier plate and a support plate. Each of the carrier plate and the support plate has a back side and a front side opposite the back side. At least one cleaning element extends from the front side of the carrier plate. The back side of the carrier plate is secured to the front side of the support plate with a plastic material that is molded around at least a portion of the back side of the support plate and over at least a portion of the carrier and that fills a channel formed by a recess in at least one of the back side of the carrier plate and the front side of the support plate, thereby providing a non-detachable connection between the carrier plate and the support plate.

The present invention is a makeup brush with a releasably connectable ferrule and handle, so that the ferrules and handles are interchangeable. The means for releasably connecting the ferrule and the handle may be, for examples, by friction fit or by the inclusion of sliding features, such as a notch and channel, such being additional methods for releasable connectivity beyond those already patented and/or developed by the inventor.

A toilet brush comprises a handle and a brush head. A backbone core is coupled to the handle. An inner support piece is further coupled to the backbone core and to the brush head. The handle further comprises an attachment area and the brush head further includes a scraping feature.

A toothbrush head (3) is provided, the cleaning element carrier (11) of which and/or at least one cleaning element (12, 12a, 12b, 12c) of the toothbrush head (3) are/is produced via an additive manufacturing process.

A composite safety toothbrush is disclosed, and in particular, methods for making and forming the composite. The toothbrush apparatus detailed herein employs a composite head made from a rigid inner polymer material and a softer thermoplastic material surrounding the inner material. The softer material provides safety for prison toothbrush applications as well as elderly and patient care where care givers may brush the teeth of a patient. Innovative pin connectors in the inner toothbrush head assist in the composite formation. The toothbrush solution herein further importantly provides for a toothbrush having a flexible handle, also providing safety in a prison environment.
